Tracks: Sex Cymbal Funky Attitude Cry Baby Lady Marmalade 808 Kate (Drum Solo) Loverboy Mother Mary Droppin' Like Flies What'cha Gonna Do Private Party (Tu Para Mi) Family Affair (Percussion Jam) Promise Me Love Heaven About The Record: Seven years after Sheila E. burst upon the scene with her Top Ten single The Glamorous Life, the talented percussionist's fourth release, Sex Cymbal, reflects the sound of successful, late-'80s artists like Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul. It's a solid mix of pop/R B ballads like the pretty "Loverboy and more dance-oriented tracks. The title track is a slinky come-on and Sheila E. leads her band through a horn-laden version of Lady Marmalade. The musicianship is not-surprisingly strong and there are a couple cool instrumental jams. Sex Cymbal is a sure-footed, groove-oriented album. The album reached No. 56 on US R B charts.
